Hi Tina!
I was talking to another member here just yesterday about depression and wondering whether it was the pain meds that caused it or just the pain itself. I think for myself it may be alittle of both. I know when I wake up first thing in the morning, the depression is BAD then after taking my morning dose, I feel alittle better, but then also my pain is bearable too. So, if I'm making any sense at all, I think the depression is a combination of our pain and that fact that we have to take meds to feel halfway normal.
I used to run about 3-5 miles a day (depending on how I felt that day) and even ran a marathon once. Now I'm lucky if I can make it out to the mailbox without looking like a 90 year old woman. That alone is depressing.
PM me if you ever need to talk. You'll find lots of support here!
